Utilising previously unpublished photographs, Howard Berry tells the story of Plaxton-bodied buses and coaches.

For many years, Plaxton of Scarborough has been at the forefront of British coachbuilding and has been the leading light in design and technological advancement on numerous occasions. During the 1960s, the Panorama was the best-selling British-built coach body, and its successor the Panorama Elite introduced several ground-breaking features we take for granted in coach bodies of today. The story of these elegant Yorkshire-built icons is told through 180 colour photographs, all taken during their operating heyday and accompanied by informative and sometimes humorous captions.

Howard Berry inherited his interest in road transport from his father. He has a real fondness for or the products of AEC, and for many years has been a Director and committee member of The AEC Society. Having written numerous articles on coach companies who operated AEC’s, he took the plunge and published his first book, a history or Roselyn Coaches of Cornwall in 2017. He has spent 30 years in the passenger transport industry and lives in rural North Shropshire.
